One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

Posted on July 3, 2010December 15, 2011 by Jacky Hackett

At this rate, I will never get through my summer reading list…

The Year of Magical Thinking
By Joan Didion

Completed!  I could have read this in one sitting.  It is a story of the the author’s mourning.  “You sit down to dinner and life as you know it ends.”  Not a fluffy beach read, but definitely a moving memoir.  I need to check out more of her books.

The Help

By Kathryn Stockett

Added!  If I can ever get my hands on a copy of it.

Medium Raw
A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook
By Anthony Bourdain

Added!
